Who Am I?

When someone asks, how do you reply?

Do you reply with,

What is your name?

Your age?

Your likes?

Your dislikes?

Your passions?

This question can sometimes be very hard to answer, because we are still exploring the world we live in, and even more so we do not know who we truly are.

Our answers gradually change or they stay the same.

However, our personality which defines us, speaks louder on our behath. We say words that describe us, but sometimes they hold little worth. When no one is watching, there is no pressure; we are captured in a moment and the passion begins to grow, who we are comes out and we shine bright.

Do not forget those moments because it's in those moments everything else is forgotten. We truly become us.

There is no is no shame, so we live in the moment

So my question to you is, who are you in these moments? What makes you shine and everything else disappear?

My name is Miriam Concepcion and I will answer who am I.

I am Miriam who loves to write, who can easily create at a whim. Writing is a way for me to get my thoughts out. With writing comes reading, and let me tell you, there is not one second in a day that I am not reading. To read is to be amazed by words of a person, to laugh, and to cry. I am easily captured.

I am Miriam who truly loves to give her friends hugs, because when I give hugs it feels peaceful. They say that hugs are magical; that they make someone happy, they they make you forget the past and sometimes even stop the present.

I am Miriam the positivity. I'm always the person who will pick you up. When you are looking down at the floor ashamed, I will hug and tell you that it will be okay. When the world seems like it's crashing, I will tell you that it's going to pass; that everything will comeback together.

I am Miriam who will always be at your side, even when you feel like there's no one. I feel like there is nothing else in the world when it's just me and you. With every fiber in my body, I wish that I can take away those fears; that I can help change the way you feel. It hurts knowing that I can sometimes do very little, but just be right here. Yet it won't stop me, there I will continue to be.

I am Miriam who loves to do the unexpected, even though I love for everything to be detailed. To go out to the city and not have an original plan and just start walking to wherever your heart takes you.

I am Miriam who simply wants nothing but to be loved, and to love in return.

There are many things about me that I have yet to discover, if not spoken of. Yet this is me now, this is who I've always been.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
